Replace sync Kafka consumers with confluent_kafka one

This change replaces all synchronous Kafka consumers (from the
kafka-python library) with a new implementation based on
confluent-kafka-python's `Consumer`, keeping the same interface as much
as possible.

The PyTest timeout is raised from 60s to 90s to accomodate for the
default poll timeout for backups consumers (otherwise the tests would
time out while still waiting for messages to arrive).o

Since the `conluent_kafka.Consumer` implementation does not allow for
consumers to be without a group ID, if the new `KafkaConsumer` client is
not given one, we'll generate one on the fly to mimic a groupless
behaviour.
